As mentioned, we went on our long-delayed honeymoon to Japan, then we moved house over the Christmas break to beautiful Bristol, and then we just sort of collapsed of exhaustion for a while.
Season Two probably broke us a bit more than we realised, but we’re back on our feet, working hard, and ready to be broken all over again.
Let’s have some news updates!
In which we offer commentary, anecdotes & random thoughts on every episode of I Am In Eskew.

A few bits and pieces of news updates from us follow below - but first, we just want to take a moment to say an enormous and very heartfelt thank you.

It feels like we’ve come an incredibly long way since the show launched in 2020, and I know Muna and I both feel like we’ve learnt a huge amount in producing this season alone (taking on more sound design duties, being more ambit...

Hi, folks! Thank you for your patience - we’ve combined our usual episode commentaries into a single entity, as we found we didn’t have a lot that we could say about Chapter 26 without spoiling Chapter 27!
